Discovery of q Large Cave.
LOUISVILLE. Ky, Feb. ia Cour-
ier-Journal special from Sharpe, Mar
| shall county, in the southwestern part
OF the State, relates the discovery OF a
large cave by two young men while
engaged in preparing a piece OF land
for a crop. A partial exploration de-
| veloped the fact that the cave was
made up OF many rooms of great ex-
tent. A complete exploration will be
impossible until certain large rocks
| are blasted or broken away. In n
| OF the chambers there were found two
| skeletons, and about 5000 in gold and
silver coin, and a quantity OF silver
ware. This newly found cave is be-
| lieved to be the hiding place during
the late war OF a band of guerrilas,
known as the Bloody Bill Brady Gang.
These marauders were attacked near
Benton, Marshall county, in 1864, and
all but two were killed. These two
escaped, and going, as it is thought, to
this cave, and q%uarreled over a divis-
ion OF the spoils of the gang, and fol-
lowing their murderous bent, shot and
killed each other. Steps will be taken
for a further investigation OF its former
occupants. 1t has been limited that the
cavern was most likely the headquar-
tiers, many years ago., of the John A.
Murrill gang, who robbed and muir
dered the people of this portion Of
Kentucky, and the neighboring State
of Tennessee.
The Lyons lee Gorge.
DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 10. = The
Evening Journal, of Lyons, says the
situation is becoming hourly more
alarming. -Four squads of men are
working the gorge in different places,
in hopes of opening the river channel.
They are working on the overlooked
lands, where the least opening can be
found. Despite the most strenuous eff
forts to open the water course, the
river has risen rapidly, until at the
bridge it is within Is inches OF the
l IlHIltSt lldlh. 4EICOllD 0OlllAhE Ia
from up the river say that the Lansing
ice has nearly reached here, and it is
a tremendous body of water. Build
ings are being anchored in expectation
of the Lansing ice coming across the
prairie. 1t is feared the water will
reach five feet above the present limits.
A cutting west wind is blowing, and
citizens anticipate the worst results.
